Make this weekend pop with some invigorating electronic tracks. As Coachella Weekend 2 begins, this week’s New Music Friday Dance promises to be a fusion of infectious rhythms that will keep you grooving all night long.
1. Nosphere: “PUZZLEMENT”
From Hungary, dubstep artist Nosphere returns with “PUZZLEMENT.” It is ultra-crunchy, filled with laser beams and hard-hitting crashes. This sticky, semi-synthy track is for the headbangers looking for some intense noise.
2. Julian Jeweil: “Yeah”
French DJ Julian Jeweil releases “Yeah,” a thrilling techno track that feels like being in a racecar. The track displays a masterful understanding of tension and release, with satisfying crashes and seamless beat transitions.
3. JSTJR: “Attitude”
JSTJR “just wants to groove” with “Attitude,” a bouncy, high-energy tech-house track. A wailing siren adds some urgency, giving it a basement-rave feel. The production is crisp and each percussive element shines through confidently.
4. Ookay: “By Myself”
Ookay delivers “By Myself,” a melodic trap song with an airy and bright feel. The piano chords are warm and inspiring, contrasting the heartbroken lyrics that yearn for partnership. The track covers a wide range of emotions through both words and sound textures.
5. Rosa Linn, Galantis: “Universe”
Rosa Linn and Galantis charm ears with “Universe.” Combining soaring vocals with a trancey house beat, the track electrifies the listener with euphoria. Rosa Linn questions with conviction, “I wonder if the night comes first / I wonder if we’d make this work.”
